[Python] comparing synonyms NLTK [duplicate]

I can't come up with a stranger problem, guess you'll help me.

for p in wn.synsets('change'):<br>

Synset('change.n.01')
Synset('change.n.02')
Synset('change.n.03')
Synset('change.n.04')
Synset('change.n.05')
Synset('change.n.06')
Synset('change.n.07')
Synset('change.n.08')
Synset('change.n.09')
Synset('variety.n.06')
Synset('change.v.01')
Synset('change.v.02')
Synset('change.v.03')
Synset('switch.v.03')
Synset('change.v.05')
Synset('change.v.06')
Synset('exchange.v.01')
Synset('transfer.v.06')
Synset('deepen.v.04')
Synset('change.v.10')
